This Petite shows lots of power and depth, but doesn’t dish out a lot of punishment while displaying its depth and intensity. The oak isn’t intrusive, and there’s a bit of fruity sweetness to soften the finish, which shows impressive fruit concentration but only the slightest tannic astringency. A Double Gold Award winner at the 2019 Toast of the Coast International Wine Competition.
